It’s 100% impossible to understand just how detrimental TV and secular music are to you until you take a long, long break from it (months). You’re so numb and desensitized from it all that you can’t even feel what’s wrong with it, saying, “Oh, it’s not that bad…relax.”
Once you take a long, long break (months) from it and spend that time filling yourself over and over again with the truth of the ways of God found within the epistles of Paul, Peter and John, if you then happen hear the TV or secular lyrics, or see what’s on TV, you will then realize how awful all of it truly is. Nothing but:
- Chaos
- Violence
- Adultery
- Sexuality
- Filthy language
- Crude joking
- Drugs and drunkenness
- Lying
- Cheating
- Stealing
- Greed
- Pride
- Boasting
- Envy and jealousy
- Hypocrisy
- Rudeness
- Disrespect
- Slander
- Depression
- Heartbreak
- Anger
- Hatred
- Fear
- Bad advice/worldly wisdom, vs godly wisdom
- Deception
- Bad behavior
Reading the Bible helps you grow up into a perfect man/woman of God, giving you strong morals and a good character. And according to a most truthful biblical proverb: “Bad company corrupts good character/morals”. Watching TV and listening to secular music is as good as hanging out with all of those evil people – they will corrupt your good morals/character. They will constantly erode any biblical gains you make, reprogramming you out of the ways of God and programming you into the corrupt ways of the world.
And once you get off TV and secular music, you realize the true peace that comes from not having someone talking in your ear 24/7/365 from a speaker. It’s truly wonderful.
This also goes for what you choose to take in on the internet as well.
